Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

The Holiday Season Heats Up!

 

Hiya, boys! We've officially entered the busy holiday season. Fresh off a casual stroll at Blackburn on Saturday morning, my beloved Leeds United pitch up at the Stadium of Light to meet Sunderland tonight. Daniel Farke's young team have won seven of the last eight matches and need to keep winning in order to close the gap on the top two teams in the league. So, come on, you Leeds boys! #MOT!

Into the second half of what has been a very tight affair. Chances at both ends in the first half.

An hour in now and Farke should be looking to his bench. Dan James has been quieter than usual, so perhaps Gnonto might inject something different.

I was very worried about the way that Jack Clarke was burning young Archie Gray for pace in the first half but he's gone quiet in this period.

Ethan Ampadu on a yellow card now; this one's on a knife's edge for us. I fear a bad injury or suspension.

Ipswich have taken the lead at Watford, so we really need to conjure up a goal from somewhere.

Now it's Dan James into the book. He should come off.

Oh - nice break there through Cry Summerville who was put through by Glenn Kamara.

Fifteen minutes left to find a winner.

Dan James come off to be replaced by Gnonto and Rutter is replaced by Jaden Anthony.

Bugger! I was worried about that. Jude Bellingham's younger brother Gabe puts Sunderland 1-0 up with a simple header at point blank range.

Spance and Kamara come off and the Slim Shady pair Matteo Joseph and Patrick Bamford come on.

Ipswich have won at Watford, so we need two goals in the next five minutes plus stoppage time.

Gnonto wins us a free kick out wide right. This is a chance!

Sunderland parking the bus now.

Oh - Piroe nearly had one back there. Off the line!

Gnonto having some chat with Pritchard. No need for that.

Five minutes of stoppage time to come.

Need to rescue a point at least.

Full-time: It's a bad loss for us on a night when Ipswich have won away to Watford. We're now eight points back from second place Ipswich and ten points behind Leicester who have a match in hand.
